Teaching

Teaching the Word of God is a joy and privilege. It can get pretty interesting in my class right now on false religions. Since Buddhists here in Cambodia mix elements from other belief systems, the students have experience with fear of spirits, consulting fortunetellers, burning incense to ancestors, good works to get a better status when reincarnated, wearing good luck strings, and many other things they are taught since a child.  What a contrast there is between error and the truth of God’s Word. How good it is to show how holy, righteous, wonderful, and merciful is the true God and His ways.
Sunday nights after the evening service is my new believer’s class with R. Following that is the time for helping one of the teens, S., with preparing her lesson for children’s church. Week days, Hubert’s student, L., is progressing well in learning to preach. Hubert also teaches English and Bible to an official in town at his office.  At the hospital, one of the patients getting anti-tuberculosis treatment as an inpatient for two month enjoys learning Bible stories and their application to our lives. These are just a few of the many classes we teach each week. Please continue to pray for each of the students and for us as we teach.
Please pray for those who study with us to understand and know God and His Word more. Pray for the unsaved to accept Christ. Pray for Christians to apply God’s Word in their lives and serve the Lord wholeheartedly. Pray for us to make the lessons clear, and to demonstrate observing all that God has commanded.
Matthew 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
